Pages

You made it! On this Finish Line post, leave the direct link to your final summary page, which should include: the amount of time spent on the challenge, books read, amount collected for charity, and which charity it will benefit.

I am donating one dollar to my designated Donors Choose school for everyone who finishes the challenge, which means to me that you signed in as a participant, read/blogged some books, and signed in at the Finish Line. So perhaps that little extra incentive can get folks to record their time and complete the 48HBC all official-like. Given different starting times over the weekend and time zones, the end is set at Monday, June 6th, at 7:00 a.m. Eastern Standard Time. All final summary posts should be up by then. That said, sometimes there are folks who need some nudging, so I won’t announce any winners until after noon on Monday, June 6th.

Thanks again to everyone who participated and supported and promoted the 48 Hour Book Challenge! Read on!

Hi, I have had lots of fun this weekend. Thank you for organising this wonderful event. In case you were wondering I have changed my blog to wordpress this weekend so my username is different than the one I used to have. I signed up to this challenge as thebookbee and my new username is everybookwithasoul. Thanks again for organising this, I look forward to participating again.

I'm late crossing the finish line, but I finished on Sunday evening at 10:30. Thank you so much for hosting this wonderful challenge. It forced me to blog and it forced me to finish 2 books that my 14 yo daughter has been begging me to finish for a year. (So she can discuss them with me. :) )

The Rundown

One of the bestselling preschool books of recent times was Walter the Farting Dog. At the same time, the American Library Association named as one of its best books Michael Rosen’s Sad Book, a book in which Mr. Rosen talks about his despair over the death of his son. I believe that, for most of us, what we want lies somewhere between a flatulent canine and overwhelming grief.
